Course Description:
Principles of electronic circuits used in the generation, transmission, and
reception of signal waveforms, as used in analog and digital communication
systems. Nonlinearity and distortion; power amplifiers; tuned amplifiers;
oscillators; multipliers and mixers; modulators and demodulators; phase-
locked loops. An extensive design project is an integral part of the course.
Course Benefits: Students will understand the principles behind communication circuits, including RF circuits. The emphasis is on fundamentals, illustrated through discrete-component design, although some consideration is given to integrated circuit techniques. Through hands-on examples using simulation, students will learn how to apply the fundamentals to a variety of design tasks. This exposure will form a proper background for a more advanced graduate class in RF IC design.
